"We've got a surprise for you Summer" Jack says and we take her up, Karen and Kevin follow too, we open the door and she screams excitedly "thank you mummy daddy. I love it" she says. I bend down and hug her "anything for you baby, we've got one more surprise in the playroom downstairs. Shall we go see it?" She nods and Jack carries her. As we enter the playroom, she runs in and screams in joy. "I love it" she says and hugs us both.

I'm now 16 weeks pregnant, we're going to announce it today as I've got a little bump already. I'm really anxious about this as people always have their opinions I get that but some people get really mean.

Jacks got a day off today, so we're making sure we spend it together as he's got a busy month coming up. We've decided to visit the zoo again today as the place holds so many memories for us, it was the first place we went as a family. Summer loves the zoo and is really excited to go again.
We arrive at the zoo, Summers holding Jacks hand while I push Max. We get to the monkeys and we take another photo, similar to the ones we've taken in front of the monkeys previously.
By 4pm, we've walked around the whole zoo, we've all had an amazing day. Karen called and invited us for dinner so we're going there straight from the zoo.

Summers at nursery today, she's excited to be back after a half term break. We're meeting Becca and Ronnie like usual. We get to the car park to meet them both. Summer runs to hug Ronnie, "hey Soph, you looked stressed girl, no offence" Becca says and I laugh "one of those mornings, fancy breakfast and coffee at mine. Comes with free Max cuddles" I reply  and she laughs "Auntie Becca would never say no to Max cuddles"
We walk into the nursery and both of the kids are excited to be back. As the teacher opens the door, Summer says "my mummy got baby in her belly." The teacher smiles and says "oh wow, congratulations" I smile and thank her. As I say that I hear 2 girls walk behind and one looks at Summer and says "another one... that's one way for your mummy to keep him as your daddy" Me and Becca look at the manager who's at the door, we raise our eyebrows as the manager goes bright red with embarrassment that her staff have just said that. "I'm so sorry.." she starts saying. I interrupt her and say "Summer come with mummy, your not staying here. We're going home." Summer runs to me and Becca says "Ronnie, come on let's go to Summers house and play in her new playroom." Ronnie stands with Summer, I leave Max with Becca, I walk to the manager and say "get me that staff member please" she calls the girl and I look at her angrily as she tries mumbling something, I interrupt and say "If you have your opinions on mine and my husbands life then that's fine, but keep my daughter out of it. Don't ever think about making comments like that to her again!" I say and she smirks "Haven't told her the truth that he's not her real daddy like he is to her brother." I get so angry and shout "That's none of your fucking business, Jack is Summers dad and you may not agree or be jealous because you like him but I tell you what, you're lucky that he wasn't here to hear you say that." I look at the manager and say "I expect someone to be in contact about this situation by the end of the day and I want suitable consequences for her, if not I'll take it further and as long as she's in this setting Summer won't be coming back and I won't be paying the fees." I turn around to walk away and Becca says "Ronnie won't be returning either if she's here, this is unprofessional and just evil." The manager says she's going to speak to head office and will contact me as she's mortified by this situation.
We get home and I'm so angry, Becca puts nursery rhymes on the playroom tv, gives the children snacks and juice, telling them we'll be in the front room. They don't know what's happening and are happy to be playing together. "Silly question but are you okay Soph?" Becca asks and I shake my head with tears falling down "she heard all of that, how can someone be that evil." She hugs me and helps me calm down.
Jacks training with the England lot today, luckily he's got some days training before 2 friendly matches, but they're training at a more local training ground so he can stay at home. He'll be finished at 3 today, I haven't actually told him what's happened yet as I don't think I can find the words to use to tell him yet.
A couple of hours later, Summer comes in with Ronnie and says "mummy, is daddy my daddy? Or is he my pretend daddy?" I'm shocked by this question and I say "what do you mean baby?" She shrugs "Uncle Phil is Ronnie's daddy" I nod "yeah darling" she then continues "Is daddy my daddy? The teacher said he's not my real daddy like he is to max? Is he Max's daddy and not mine" my tears are still falling and Becca gets closer to me and puts her arms around me, I'm frozen and can't speak. "Of course he's your daddy, he loves you lots. Should we got pick some more songs on the tv." Becca says and the little ones run back to the playroom, once they're settled, Becca comes back and hugs me tight as I break down in her arms.
